Ok, so as you all know I started working on making my charms. I followed the instructions on youtube and made some clay. The first batch was a complete success!!! All the charms came out perfect!!
So I went on youtube to get some ideas for the charms and found some awesome tutorials. Of course these tutorials were done by teenage girls so it sort of drove me crazy listening to them go through the steps and processes lol. But nonetheless they were very helpful and I shall incorporate some of those things in my next creations.
The first batch of charms I made some cute japanese mamegomas (baby seals), mameshibas (soybean pups) and some kawaii (cutesy) charms. I also did a few hello kitty, pochacco and other Sanrio ones. I attempted a few chibis ( japanese anime figurines) and still sort of experimenting on the style and design I want to use.
I've only used about a quarter of the clay I made so this is proving to be a very economical project. I made two batches of clay as I stated in a previous post ...one batch I kept white and the other I split into four primary colors (red, blue, yellow and green). I'm thinking I may use a bit of the white I have left and make half of it black so I can make panda bears and penguins and cows lol.
Well, after I finished making the charms I took them to my parents' house for the weekend so I could test it on the kids. My nieces, nephews and daughters loved them!!! Considering that would be my target consumers it has proven successful. In fact, my nieces and nephews made up lists of stuff they want lol. I'm more than happy to oblige in that matter. So, now I will continue on and make batch #2 of my charms.
